We were nudged along a certain path, but never discouraged from speaking our minds, or asking questions the elders believed to be impertinent."
"Somehow," Kerrigan said, with a faint tinge of dry amusement in her tone, "That puts my mind at ease. I think I've got a relative of yours in my class, too. Same last name?"
